00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>The stories you will hear are from real people with

2
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:09.640
<v Speaker 1>real experiences with the unknown. Welcome to the Dixie Cryptid

3
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>What If It's True? Podcast? All right, here we go.

4
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:29.600
<v Speaker 2>My name is Bernard. I'm a sixty five year old

5
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:34.200
<v Speaker 2>retired all filled worker from South Mississippi. I've lived my

6
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:37.240
<v Speaker 2>entire life in a small town about an hour south

7
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:43.159
<v Speaker 2>of Jackson, Mississippi, called Bogacheetah. Bogacheetah is Chocktaw for Big Creek.

8
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Many Native American tribes settled here in the late eighteen hundreds,

9
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.560
<v Speaker 2>and many property owners discover burial mounds on their properties here.

10
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:57.240
<v Speaker 2>My family farmed all the land we owned, and as children,

11
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:00.159
<v Speaker 2>we would spend the summer searching for arrowheads after or

12
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:04.840
<v Speaker 2>the fields were plowed. We probably found hundreds of them altogether,

13
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:09.319
<v Speaker 2>and we still occasionally find them today. Once I graduated

14
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:11.359
<v Speaker 2>high school, I set out to make a living in

15
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.120
<v Speaker 2>the Gulf of Mexico all Patch. Looking back, I wish

16
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.760
<v Speaker 2>I had continued to farm and kept up with my

17
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:22.680
<v Speaker 2>family's dairy farm business. The hard manual labor of drilling

18
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.760
<v Speaker 2>rigs took a toll on my body, but it allowed

19
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.319
<v Speaker 2>me to provide for my family and lived for the

20
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:32.840
<v Speaker 2>most part, an upper middle class life. Years ago, when

21
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:35.599
<v Speaker 2>my son was seventeen years old, I called home to

22
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 2>check on him, as I did daily, and while I

23
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 2>was away at work, my mother and my sister looked

24
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.920
<v Speaker 2>after him. On this day, he asked if he and

25
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:47.480
<v Speaker 2>a friend could take a bigfoot researcher onto my property.

26
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.959
<v Speaker 2>Apparently his buddy had seen a creature across the road

27
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.359
<v Speaker 2>and enter an area of my property the week prior.

28
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:58.799
<v Speaker 2>His friend reported the sighting to the BFRO and a

29
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:02.400
<v Speaker 2>man wanted to take a look around. Well, I laughed,

30
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:04.280
<v Speaker 2>and I told him that he could go and do

31
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 2>whatever they needed to do. I had spent the majority

32
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.680
<v Speaker 2>of my life in those woods and never saw a

33
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>sign of a strange creature being there. The old men

34
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.360
<v Speaker 2>in my town would tell tales of skunk apes that

35
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:20.520
<v Speaker 2>lived in the Bogacheta River swamps, and a few years earlier,

36
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.840
<v Speaker 2>a preacher's daughters said the creature jumped from a tree

37
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>and slapped her car late one night. I didn't know

38
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.759
<v Speaker 2>if any of these stories were a fact, but I

39
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:33.120
<v Speaker 2>later found out for myself that it was all too real.

40
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 2>The years passed, and fast forward to twenty twenty three,

41
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.560
<v Speaker 2>I have a ten year old grandson who has become

42
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 2>the center of my universe. I wanted to spend all

43
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.520
<v Speaker 2>the time I could with him and a couple of

44
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.719
<v Speaker 2>COVID mandates. Later, I decided to retire and enjoy my

45
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:56.240
<v Speaker 2>golden years. My son and grandson loved deer hunt. Knowing this,

46
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.520
<v Speaker 2>I spent months preparing deer plots and getting them set

47
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 2>up to have good places to hunt for the upcoming season.

48
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.560
<v Speaker 2>A few weeks before opening day, I started to notice

49
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>that hogs were destroying one of our plots near the

50
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.159
<v Speaker 2>river swamp. I went to my local feed store and

51
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.520
<v Speaker 2>bought a hay ring, a net wire, a spring loaded

52
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:21.199
<v Speaker 2>swing gate. I took these items in my welding machine

53
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:25.360
<v Speaker 2>and fabricated an indestructible hog trap to try and lessen

54
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:29.000
<v Speaker 2>the population of these pests. We kill and eat these

55
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 2>hogs all the time. Now I knew I had takers

56
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:35.080
<v Speaker 2>for any that I would catch, because properly cooked, they

57
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:39.240
<v Speaker 2>were fine eating. I placed the trap beside the food

58
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:42.199
<v Speaker 2>plot and attached the trigger wire for the spring gate

59
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.840
<v Speaker 2>to a bucket of corn inside, and once those pigs

60
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.520
<v Speaker 2>moved that bucket, the gates would close and they would

61
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:52.400
<v Speaker 2>be trapped. My years in the oil field afforded me

62
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:56.120
<v Speaker 2>some of the finer redneck things in life. Afore wheel

63
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.360
<v Speaker 2>drive pickup and a side by side and an arsenal

64
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:03.520
<v Speaker 2>of gun from pistols to some automatic ar style rifles.

65
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:08.759
<v Speaker 2>With many Wi Fi game cameras. I had one camera

66
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 2>that had seen better days. It would take and send

67
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.240
<v Speaker 2>me pictures just fine during the day, but had lost

68
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 2>its ability to flash and take pictures at night, so

69
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.360
<v Speaker 2>it was the perfect candidate to watch my hog trap.

70
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:24.399
<v Speaker 2>It would send me pictures the next morning to let

71
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 2>me know if the trap had been sprung and if

72
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.720
<v Speaker 2>I had any hogs to go and remove. I set

73
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.040
<v Speaker 2>the trap up on Friday afternoon, and by early evening

74
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.800
<v Speaker 2>I got a picture showing me I had four hogs

75
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.079
<v Speaker 2>in the trap. The next morning, my son and I

76
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.759
<v Speaker 2>pulled up to the trap just as the sun peeked out,

77
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.800
<v Speaker 2>but we were greeted with an empty trap. The gate

78
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.560
<v Speaker 2>was closed and there was no damage or holes dug

79
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.800
<v Speaker 2>under it. This trap was anchored to the ground using

80
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:57.360
<v Speaker 2>six t posts, each with four fence tie wires fastening

81
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:01.079
<v Speaker 2>the trap, and all of them were intact. We found

82
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 2>hair on the top end of the net wire, which

83
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.480
<v Speaker 2>was at my eye level and I'm six foot two.

84
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.319
<v Speaker 2>Some of the hair was dark, it was almost black

85
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.160
<v Speaker 2>like the hogs I had seen in the photos, but

86
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:17.319
<v Speaker 2>some of the hair was long and light brown. After

87
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.160
<v Speaker 2>handling it, the smell on my hand was enough to

88
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:24.560
<v Speaker 2>make a maggot gag. It smelled like a crab house

89
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:30.399
<v Speaker 2>on a tuna boat. Oh man, that's a classic. We

90
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:34.319
<v Speaker 2>reset the trap and headed back home, and just like clockwork,

91
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 2>when it was early evening, I received another photo telling

92
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.720
<v Speaker 2>me there were more hogs in the trap. But the

93
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 2>next day I awoke to the photo from my game

94
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.240
<v Speaker 2>cam of a hog sitting on top of my empty

95
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.639
<v Speaker 2>sprung hog trap. I was baffled, how were these hogs

96
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:55.480
<v Speaker 2>getting out? Again? We reset the trap and around four

97
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.319
<v Speaker 2>pm we arrived and found the empty trap with more

98
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.879
<v Speaker 2>hair stuck to the wire. This time, we took more

99
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.319
<v Speaker 2>time to investigate, and we noticed the grass was beaten

100
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 2>down in a path leading from the woods. Well this

101
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.240
<v Speaker 2>got me thinking was someone coming in and taking these hogs?

102
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.240
<v Speaker 2>I pondered on this the rest of the night. If

103
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.759
<v Speaker 2>someone was taking them, then how were they doing it.

104
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.199
<v Speaker 2>There was no blood inside the trap or around it,

105
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:25.959
<v Speaker 2>and the hogs aren't exactly cooperative, so picking even a

106
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.600
<v Speaker 2>small one up and handing it over to another person

107
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:33.360
<v Speaker 2>outside the trap would be damn near impossible. I decided

108
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:35.560
<v Speaker 2>to go back the next day and set the trap

109
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:38.519
<v Speaker 2>and then get into my box doAnd with my thermal

110
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:42.920
<v Speaker 2>scope equipped ar ten and see what I could see.

111
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:46.519
<v Speaker 2>A few hours later, two large hogs entered my trap

112
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.240
<v Speaker 2>and the gate shut. Now I had the bait and

113
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.399
<v Speaker 2>I was going to wait and see if anything took it.

114
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:56.199
<v Speaker 2>Night came and I scanned the woodline with my thermal.

115
00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Around ten PM, I heard what sounded like whistles coming

116
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.920
<v Speaker 2>from the woods where the grass trail had led. I

117
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:07.000
<v Speaker 2>pulled up my thermal again and I saw heat signals

118
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 2>moving through the trees, and after a couple of minutes

119
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.040
<v Speaker 2>I saw what sort of resembled a human emerged from

120
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:16.800
<v Speaker 2>the tree line and walked toward the trout. When he

121
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.959
<v Speaker 2>got there, he had his hands at waste level, with

122
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:23.439
<v Speaker 2>his palms straight out. I tried to figure out why

123
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.600
<v Speaker 2>he was standing like that when I realized he was

124
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.399
<v Speaker 2>so tall that his hands were resting on the net

125
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:33.439
<v Speaker 2>wire of the trout. The large hogs immediately went to

126
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.120
<v Speaker 2>the opposite side of the troup, but I could see

127
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:38.360
<v Speaker 2>that the top of their backs were just above this

128
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:42.160
<v Speaker 2>thing's knee. It wasn't but a few seconds later that

129
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.399
<v Speaker 2>I heard another series of whistles, and two more large

130
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:48.399
<v Speaker 2>figures emerged from the woods and walked to the trap.

131
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Once they arrived, the first creature gingerly climbed over into

132
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:56.399
<v Speaker 2>the trap and grabbed one of the hogs, and within

133
00:07:56.519 --> 00:08:00.079
<v Speaker 2>seconds its loud squealing stop and it was handed over

134
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:02.720
<v Speaker 2>to one of the creatures on the outside of the trap.

135
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.319
<v Speaker 2>The second hog was silenced and handed over, and the

136
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.720
<v Speaker 2>creature climbed back out and walked with the others back

137
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:15.040
<v Speaker 2>into the woods. Well, I couldn't believe my eyes. I

138
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.000
<v Speaker 2>stayed up watching until the batteries and my thermal died,

139
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:20.319
<v Speaker 2>and then I lay down on the floor of my

140
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:23.160
<v Speaker 2>box stand and I tried to sleep, but there was

141
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:27.879
<v Speaker 2>no way I was climbing down until after daylight. About

142
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.360
<v Speaker 2>an hour after daybreak, I climbed down and walked to

143
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:32.840
<v Speaker 2>my truck, and I called my son and I told

144
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:35.159
<v Speaker 2>him what I had seen, and he wanted to go

145
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:38.200
<v Speaker 2>back that night to see for himself, and that's what

146
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:43.039
<v Speaker 2>we did, and the exact same thing happened again, only

147
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.080
<v Speaker 2>this time three hogs were trapped, and instead of two

148
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.840
<v Speaker 2>additional figures emerging from the woods, there were three. My

149
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:55.320
<v Speaker 2>son watched in silence through my thermal binoculars while I

150
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:59.320
<v Speaker 2>watched through my scope. After what we had witnessed, we

151
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:03.120
<v Speaker 2>both agreed that we weren't climbing down until daybreak, and

152
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.559
<v Speaker 2>when we climbed down that morning, we walked out to

153
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.519
<v Speaker 2>the trap. Those things have to be nearly ten feet tall, dad,

154
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.000
<v Speaker 2>my son said. Just as he said it, we heard

155
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.679
<v Speaker 2>something near the woods. A second later, a boar hog

156
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.159
<v Speaker 2>with its nose to the ground, ran out. I quickly

157
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.960
<v Speaker 2>shouldered my rifle and took it down, and my son

158
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.759
<v Speaker 2>and I walked over to it. It was over two

159
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.960
<v Speaker 2>hundred pounds. We had about a half a mile to

160
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.600
<v Speaker 2>walk to the truck, so we decided to leave it

161
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:34.039
<v Speaker 2>beside a tree stump at the base of our box

162
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:36.919
<v Speaker 2>stand and then come back with the side by side

163
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:40.360
<v Speaker 2>to haul it out. We got back home, loaded up

164
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:43.039
<v Speaker 2>the side by side and came straight back to remove

165
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.200
<v Speaker 2>the boar. But when we got there, it was gone.

166
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:49.799
<v Speaker 2>There were no drag marks, no pack of codes tearing

167
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:54.039
<v Speaker 2>into it. It was just gone. That's when my son

168
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.919
<v Speaker 2>noticed a pile of twenty or so pecans sitting on

169
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:02.679
<v Speaker 2>top of a tree stump. Each of them I'm perfectly shelled. Wow,

170
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:07.000
<v Speaker 2>they left us some pecans, Dad, my son said. I

171
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.600
<v Speaker 2>asked him what he meant. He explained that last dear

172
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:12.799
<v Speaker 2>season he had been sitting in that stand eating pecans

173
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:15.399
<v Speaker 2>and throwing the shells out the window onto the ground.

174
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.919
<v Speaker 2>So the bigfoot must have assumed that would be a

175
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:24.559
<v Speaker 2>good trade pecinds for pigs. My son collected the gifted pekins,

176
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.960
<v Speaker 2>and from their smell, he didn't eat them, but he

177
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:31.080
<v Speaker 2>took them with us. Nonetheless, we didn't set the trap again,

178
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.840
<v Speaker 2>and a few days later I brought a trailer and

179
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:38.559
<v Speaker 2>removed it in preparation for deer season. In Mississippi, youth

180
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:42.080
<v Speaker 2>deer season opens a few days earlier than rifle season

181
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:46.919
<v Speaker 2>for all ages. Opening morning, I took my grandson just

182
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:50.279
<v Speaker 2>after daylight. A six point buck and a doe walked out,

183
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:53.679
<v Speaker 2>and my grandson is a crack shot with a rifle,

184
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.679
<v Speaker 2>and before I could blink, he shot the buck and

185
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.960
<v Speaker 2>then the dough with a Savage Youth Model two forty three.

186
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:04.840
<v Speaker 2>We climbed down to assess his first kills of the season,

187
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.480
<v Speaker 2>and when I told him we had two to skin,

188
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.960
<v Speaker 2>he told me, no, Pap Paul, just one. Let's take

189
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:13.200
<v Speaker 2>the buck and leave the dough for them, you know,

190
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.440
<v Speaker 2>the big feats. Well, how could I argue with that.

191
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:20.720
<v Speaker 2>We loaded the buck, pulled the dough over near our stand,

192
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.159
<v Speaker 2>and left and we got home and skinned his trophy,

193
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.679
<v Speaker 2>and later that day we loaded up the corn to

194
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:31.000
<v Speaker 2>take to a nearby feeder. My grandson asked if we

195
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.919
<v Speaker 2>could ride to see if they had taken his gift,

196
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.720
<v Speaker 2>and when we got there, we saw that they had

197
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:40.919
<v Speaker 2>not only that, but on the stump laid a beautiful fox,

198
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:45.240
<v Speaker 2>squirrel tail and a large Indian spearhead. It's not like

199
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.679
<v Speaker 2>an arrowhead, it's bigger, and something we searched and searched

200
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:53.720
<v Speaker 2>for as children, but we never found them. My grandson

201
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:58.159
<v Speaker 2>was rightfully excited, and quite frankly, I was too, And

202
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:00.919
<v Speaker 2>when I got him home, he told us father about it.

203
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Those things won't forget anything. My son said, what do

204
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:07.840
<v Speaker 2>you mean, I asked him, This isn't the first time

205
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.600
<v Speaker 2>my son has been down there near the swamp. Don't

206
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:13.639
<v Speaker 2>you remember me taking him squirrel hunting down there last year.

207
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:17.919
<v Speaker 2>They were watching him harvest squirrels, and I bet they've

208
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:20.840
<v Speaker 2>been around so long that they remember you searching all

209
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:26.080
<v Speaker 2>that area for arrowheads. My son's words replayed in my

210
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:29.559
<v Speaker 2>head the rest of that day. How long have these

211
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.840
<v Speaker 2>things been watching us? How many of them are there?

212
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Since that day, we have continued to hunt and gift.

213
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:40.519
<v Speaker 2>I recently put the hog trap back down there, and

214
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:42.919
<v Speaker 2>I reseid it a couple of times a week for them.

215
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.799
<v Speaker 2>I hope those hogs are feeding their group, maybe they're

216
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.200
<v Speaker 2>young ones. Also hope that our friendship with them and

217
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.279
<v Speaker 2>kindness carry on. Maybe when I'm gone, they will keep

218
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:57.279
<v Speaker 2>a watchful eye over my son and grandson and other

219
00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:02.240
<v Speaker 2>generations to come. Thank you for reading my letter, Signed
